There are a couple of ways to get to Decatur, GA. One mapping app suggests the traditional way of shooting straight East thru Chattanooga, and then South. I've done that run to Atlanta and I want something different.

The Google Assistant is wonderful. From a dark screen I can just say Navigate to Decatur, GA and she loads the map up with options. I'm a Garmin GPS guy, but I'm going to let her guide me down tomorrow.

We'll hit Huntsville, AL and then I'll sail through new country for me, on a diagonal over to I75. We'll go through Scottsboro, Henager, Hammondville, Valley Head, Mentone then leave Alabama into Georgia and hit Cloudland, Menlo, Summerville, Armuchee, finally connecting with I75.

Back roads are so much more fun than Interstates. It may take a bit longer but if I leave early I should make the 1100 buffet opening at Chai Pani. If I'm late, hey they're open until 1400.
